A note from the founder
Certified Trichologist · Founder & Director
I spent 30 years in hairdressing before I discovered what no one had ever taught me — that the scalp is the foundation of everything. The health of your hair, the state of your nervous system, the way stress lives in the body. It all begins at the root.
When I found trichology, I felt something I hadn’t felt in years. Purpose. Clarity. The sense that I was finally working at the level this work deserved.
La Vella Sol exists because that knowledge deserves a space worthy of it. Not a salon. Not a spa. Something quieter. Something more precise. A return to yourself.

Your scalp letter · after Terra Viva
“Today I noticed your scalp is holding tension at the crown — this is where you carry stress. The occipital region has improved significantly since your last visit. I used a higher concentration of the rosemary complex because of what I felt. Here is what I want you to focus on this week...”

Our Philosophy
La Vella Sol began with a belief that women deserve more than what they have been taught to accept — more than rushed appointments, more than one-size-fits-all experiences, more than being treated as another booking in a calendar.
What you see here — the rituals, the botanicals, the scalp work — is one expression of something larger. At its centre is a simple idea: every woman deserves to feel seen, understood and valued as an individual. Not because of the service she is receiving, but because of who she is.
This is the first chapter.
What makes this different
Every ritual is built on premium botanical actives, formulated without synthetic toxins or petrochemicals.
Every ritual begins with a scalp analysis. Your treatment follows what Jess finds — never a fixed menu.
The scalp and the nervous system are inseparable. Every ritual moves you from stress into genuine rest.
Every ritual is designed and delivered by Jess. You are never handed to someone else.

Light, green, rising. The sound of the Pilbara spring — warming mornings, lengthening days.
Founder’s Favourites
Personal. Updated each season. A window into what moves her.
The Gift of Return
A La Vella Sol immersion is not a voucher. It is an invitation — to slow down, to be restored, and to return to themselves. For the person in your life who gives everything to everyone else.
From $270 · Redeemable for any ritual
Client Voices
“I had been told my hair loss was hormonal and unfixable. After three rituals with Jess, I have regrowth I have not seen in four years. She knew what was happening before I finished describing it.”
Sarah K. — Karratha
“I came in for the extensions and stayed for the scalp ritual. Two hours that felt like a complete reset. I didn’t realise how much I needed it until it was over.”
Michelle T. — Karratha
“The scalp letter she sends after every visit is something I look forward to. It feels like a private conversation with someone who genuinely knows my scalp history. Nothing else like it.”
Rachel M. — Karratha
Questions
If your question is not here, reach Jess directly.
jess@lavellasol.com.auNo. It is a private practice. Every appointment is personal, quiet, and one-on-one — no salon noise, no other clients visible.
Yes. Many clients come specifically for hair loss — including a pattern we see often here in the Pilbara, covered in our Journal. The Consultazione Botanica ($50) is the best first step.
Monthly rituals produce the best long-term results. Your first three are the most important.
48 hours’ notice to reschedule without charge. La Vella Sol operates with limited availability — each appointment is prepared specifically for you.
